"As they say in Real Estate - location location location…. I just got back last night from our 10 day vacation in Tamarindo, Costa Rica staying at the Coast Beachfront Hotel and I’m happy to report that we had an awesome time (two teenagers and my wife and I). My quick takeaways are the following:
1. The hotel has an awesome location, by far the best location if you want to do water activities like bodysurfing and if want to learn how to surf or want easy fun 2-3 foot waves for surfing. If you want to go on Ocean based or Jungle excursions (tubing, horseback riding, zip lining or a trip to the steam bass) the excursion companies will pick up at either the hotel or just down the beach about five minute walk.
3. Each unit at the hotel has a basic electric flat top for cooking along with a microwave and a midsize refrigerator. There are multiple grocery stores and the big one which we went to most of the time was about almost 2 miles from the property which is very easy to get to via Uber. The property also has a large gas grill, which is super convenient to cook on especially after we caught fish on a deep sea excursion..
4. Right across the street from the hotel is an absolutely spectacular Mediterranean restaurant. I’m a chef myself so I can attest to the fact that the food was spectacular along with the wine list. Thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed that..
5. The hotel also has a small pool right in the middle of the compound. It was a great way to cool off."
